Not for profit sporting organisations, school
programs, community organisations and other
projects require funding to stay afloat, and
writing successful grant applications, can assist
these groups to get the funding they need. Grants
have a role to play in supporting these
organisations.

Writing a great Grant Proposal
You do not need a degree in grant writing, but
you need to pay close attention to detail and be
a decent writer. Never assume that the funding
body reading your grant application knows much
about your organisation or what you do. Use
expertise, statistics and evidence to explain it,
making it simple for them to understand.
4
Read the grant application carefully.
Highlight all materials you have to include and
every question you must answer. Underline key
words or phrases you might want to refer to in
the grant application. Then re-read the
application. Before beginning the writing always
take time to brainstorm. What are your
organisations strengths? What examples can you
offer as a part of your grant application? These
answers will give you a jumping off point for
your grant writing.
5
Research the funding body
Provide your organisation with the right funding
resources. You can use your local library and the
internet to located information on the funding
body. The Australian Government publishes a list
of available grants, this is worth checking
regularly. During the process of writing your
grant application, it would be sensible to start
a file where you can keep records of contact
information, completed tasks and all other
correspondence relating to the grant.
6
Establish your organisations Goals and Objectives
Ensure your goals and objectives clearly explain
what your organisation will do with any funding
received. Clearly state what your organisation
hopes to accomplish, the goals, and the specific
results, objectives, you expect to achieve. The
goals are the general outcomes of the project
with the objectives being the steps your
organisation will take to get to those results. 
7
Start writing
Put pen to paper, so to speak. Write a rough
draft. Getting your ideas down, will help get the
application going. Revisit your brainstorm ideas
and any notes and concepts you have had, and
start with the questions you have the answers
for. Focus on the sections of your application
that correspond more with the funding bodys
guidelines. Make sure you highlight your
organisation's partnerships with other community
groups. This helps build your organisations
credibility and legitimacy.
8
When grant writing, ensure you closely follow the
guidelines set by the funding body. Be clear and
concise. Ensure all your spelling and grammar is
correct. Answer all necessary questions without
being vague. It is ok to include pictures that
demonstrate who the funding will benefit.
9
Ask yourself
Before submitting your organisations grant
application, ask yourself Does my organisation
stand out from the crowd? Is everything in this
application true and correct? Is the grant I am
applying for, relevant to my organisation? Have I
answered every question and fulfilled every
requirement? Is my spelling and grammar correct
and my format simple and clear? Can I do more?
